Tens of thousands of people marched through central London Saturday to protest the far-right, six months after Britain saw one of its largest-ever far-right demonstrations and weeks ahead of key local elections.
Organised by hundreds of groups, including trade unions, anti-racism campaigners and Muslim representative bodies, the Together Alliance event was billed as the biggest march in UK history to counter the far right.Â
